Before the
discovery of The Nag Hammadi Library, The Pistis Sophia
was the largest source of Gnostic teachings known to the world. Its
title means ‘power-wisdom’, and it is a work that
covers an incredible expanse of esoteric knowledge.
This epic manuscript was purchased by the British Museum in 1795 from a
doctor who had obtained it from an unknown source - finally emerging
from obscurity after having been banned in the 4th Century. The
writings themselves have been dated to 150-300 AD, and were written in
the Sahidic dialect of Upper Egypt although originally composed in
Greek. It wasn't until the 1850s, over half a century after they were
discovered, that work began on their translation.
Remarkably, the text recounts events that occur only eleven years after
Jesus' resurrection. During those eleven years, Jesus had been teaching
his disciples and it is in this work that you can witness the final
teaching he imparts to them on the Mount of Olives.
Jesus takes his disciples on an astounding journey into the regions of the invisible
world, revealing many esoteric mysteries – in particular, he
speaks of the story and repentance of Pistis Sophia, which is a
symbolic part of each person's true Being.
Today,
due to the scale and complex esotericism of the text it may seem almost
totally incomprehensible, yet what becomes evident is that hidden in
it, is a deep knowledge of spirituality. So in The Pistis
Sophia Unvieled, Samael Aun Weor - the founder of
modern Gnosis, explains the meaning behind what is written so that you
can understand its powerful teachings today.
